As is becoming increasingly apparent, Rick Perry is a traveling fool.

Reports say that taxpayers spent close to $1 million for security during 23 foreign trips taken by Rick over a seven-year period.  And, now that he’s running for President, it’s growing.

Bud, actually, if you live in Texas, Rick Perry’s travel expenses are none of your stinkin’ bidness.  Rick Perry wants lawmakers to sneak in a provision on the school finance bill that makes his expenses none of your stinkin’ bidness.  You think how he spends your money is your stinkin’ bidness?  It ain’t.

Rick’s travel records used to be open.

More detailed records used to be available; for example, records showed expenditures in 2005 for golf cart and scuba diving equipment during a trip to the Bahamas.

But, now we only get totals and Perry wants to amend the school finance bill to stop even that.

However, there is some sweet accounting justice in adding it to the school finance bill.  Every time Rick gets on an airplane, we lose funding for a teacher.

Me?  Bitter?  Nahhhhh ……..
